The offensive environment is toxic, bad player development, bad scheme, bad game day play calling, bad fundamentals I will say this about Keenum, he is overrated by Fisher. The best caparison of Keenum is Brandon Gibson. A guy that somehow gets playing time and nobody knows why. Although I believe maybe Keenum is a reasonable backup, where Gibson belonged on practice squad.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

In that in this 28-0 game, that the Rams still can't get him on the field for a least some mockup duty. He couldn’t get on the field last year either at the end of the season. At this point, the only scenario he could play it appears is injuries to both QBs before they get a chance to pick somebody else up off the waiver wire. I was hoping he get a chance, but he must really be a mess toby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

Somebody stated that the Rams run NFL plays. Yes they do. The problem is that the other team knows the majority of the NFL plays that the Rams will NOT run. You don't have to be concerned about defending much. Somebody should go watch a Patriot game and figure out how you can use Austin other than throwing screens and doing reverses. Maybe some crossing patterns after clearing out someby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Wentz would struggle with the Rams. Switch places and the results would reverse for the 2 players. It isn't the talent. It is the coaching, the development, the scheme, the play calling, the preparation.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
1) Gurley Off Tackle 2) Britt go out 10 yards and turn around 3) Austin Screen pass in flat 4) Tight End delay short pass to side 5) Throw it up deep for grabs 6) Austin Reverse Run Actually that first Rams drive seem to have hope and then they went back to the proven and true 6 plays. I know they ran a few more, but the problem with the Rams as the announcers kept saying is the other tby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Head coach makes offensive players better than what they really are. That is a bad offensive team in regards to personnel but they put up 28 points.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
That is the best comparison. Somewhat taken up a spot that could be done better by someone else. I don't think he is better. On the other guy, better than what? We never saw him play last year. They couldn't develop him enough to put him in an official play last year. This is denial to see the offense spiraling downhill year after year and rock bottom last year.

Foles wasn't very good but chip got something out of him anyway. Chip knew he had a limit and gambled. The point is when comparing how much worse foles did when he was put in this Stone Age offensive environmentby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
But it all comes down to having the offense stop underachieving. Fisher needs to change how he approaches things and develope the players better.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
the problem is not the personnel he has gotten at QB it is that he can't get them to play up to their talent level. In fact, they all play below their talent level. He is bad developing QBs and any offensive player. Foles is like a star QB with the Eagles and Kelly leading them to the playoffs and is a disaster with the Rams.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Lots of teams do it now because of that, but as much as I like the hurry up, I believe a problem is always being in the shotgun. I think you can do hurry up and still have the QB behind center. If there is one change to what he does, that would be it. It would provide more variety with the types of runs they do. Sometimes have quarterback behind center and sometimes in shotgun.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams are simply more talented than 49ers significantly and barring turnovers, I don't see anything but an easy win for the Rams. On the other hand, the 49ers horrific offense from last year will be better and improve more than a much more Rams talented offense. Both were bad last year, but while the Rams are more talented, I wouldn't be surprised to see the 49ers improvement to be more. Bby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

Donald Quinn gurley Austin I bet 50 percent in 2nd round is consistent with most teams. Drafting expectations are out of sync. Most teams miss more than they hit. One of the reasons draft picks are overvalued. The appeal is less expensive and when you do hit, incredible value.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Hundreds of games. Law of statistics and probability seldom is wrong unless there is some event that disrupts the pattern. Plus, Maybe he will get off season help away from the Rams coaching like Robinson did last year. That seems to have made a difference for Robinson so far.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff will be a good player but not as good as he should be Even McNair given his tremendous physical talent underachieved. Fisher is simply bad with QBs and bad on the passing game and is actually overrated as a running game coach. (Although I will say Eddie George is one player that I felt played to his ability so you have to give credit there.) But overall, if you follow Fisher's histoby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I have never seen anything like it in the league what the Rams did on offense last year. a lot of nothing. Hence the #30 to #32 with underachieving talent all over the place. They were not put in position to make plays because the defense knew the play on the hike. Hence Gurley's comments of 11 guys coming at him on the snap.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
The Gurley Austin thing was sweet for a few games. They had a few games going with Austin and Gurley working off each other on a play that looked similar and had like 3 or 4 flavors to a play and mixed it up. IT was the best thing of the entire season for the Rams offense. However, it started to fizzle later in the year and they need to find more combo type of plays similar to what they hby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Dickerson was elite and a one of a kind. A once a decade player. Jackson was a good player but rarely a top of the league running back. I would be disappointed if gurley is at a Jackson levelby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
But it isn't just the number of runs. It is everything and how limited the running game is as well that contributes to 11 defenders on the other team running to him on the snap. The Rams run very few runs and it is an easy read. Better design variety could contribute to more yards for gurley in both the passing game and running game with less touchesby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
And I wouldn't want to give the Williams guy any benefit of the doubt because I don't think he should be allowed in the NFL, but the defense always gives you the feeling they can make a game changing play or get a big stop. The offense on the other hand feels like it is hopeless. Other than Gurley or Austin doing something on their own that is just from their talent versus something done becby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he has done well with personnel. It is the player development, the offensive scheme, the preseason preparation, and game day plan that is bad. I think Gurley and Austin were wonderful picks although Austin was probably taken too high, he is a very explosive player and something the Rams have not had in years. And Gurley is a once in a generation player. I think he is like the 3rdby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

Austin Davis and broken down Manning had similarities Defenses didn't have to defend lots of the passes because they both couldn't make them. But Manning still had the ability to make just enough plays in a crowded field to avoid mistakes provided the defense dominated and the team didn't need to score much. Davis won't have that knowledge of the QB position to do that. Davis is a goodby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
History matters as understanding history is important on the present and future. I see no harm in discussing Sam Bradford. He is a guy that hasn't done much, but really hasn't had the opportunity so it will be interesting to watch. I don't know much about the Vikings other than they have a great runningback and an improving defense, but they did well as a team last year.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
